Documentary abstract — original language
In this chapter, we will look at the work of Furio Jesi who argues that revolutions, far from being the radical vanguard that we usually take them to be, partakes in what he calls “historical time,” that is to say the time of bourgeois oppression, of false senses of progress and freedom that mask the fact that cause and effect are tightly bound and predetermined. For this reason, he finds that revolutions inevitably fail to break out of that temporal stranglehold. Instead, Jesi looks to what he calls revolt or insurrection which constitutes a radical break from historical time when cause and effect are undetermined and anything becomes possible. Looking at his analysis of the German Spartacist revolt in 1919, we argue that there is one critical way that revolts, for all of their separation from historical time (i.e., the time that all normally live in), have an effect on historical time nonetheless. This comes in the form of ideology. Ideology itself, Jesi tells us, is very much a product of historical time, but all ideology partakes in what he calls the idea, a thing that is born out of the material and real experiences of revolt. Due to the link between ideas and ideology, even the most retrograde ideology has a subversive element, a way of calling into question the sureties and determinations of historical time as such. We will look at how Jesi, and through him Walter Benjamin, think about the nature of that subversion, how it fills historical time with the possibility of another time and space.
